From Bangkok: Ayutthaya Ancient City Temple Tour | ®ExcursionMania

Overview

Begin your journey with a self-guided exploration of Ayutthaya’s magnificent ancient temples, a UNESCO World Heritage Site rich in history and culture.

Your tour starts with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in Bangkok, followed by a comfortable one-hour drive to Ayutthaya Province. The first stop is Bang Pa-In Palace, a stunning summer retreat once used by Thai kings. Admire the exquisite blend of Thai, Chinese, and European architectural styles before continuing to the heart of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya.

Next, visit the renowned Wat Yai Chai Mongkol, built-in 1357 as a monastery for monks trained in Sri Lanka. Marvel at its towering chedi and serene Buddha statues before enjoying a traditional Thai lunch at a local restaurant.

Proceed to Wat Phra Si Sanphet, a former royal temple known for its striking bell-shaped pagodas standing on an elevated platform. Adjacent to it, explore Viharn Phra Mongkol Bophit, home to a magnificent 40-foot-tall gilded bronze Buddha in the Subduing Mara posture.

Continue to Wat Mahathat, once a sacred temple housing Buddha relics and serving as the seat of the Supreme Patriarch of Buddhism. This temple is famous for the iconic Buddha head entwined within the roots of a sacred Bodhi tree—a sight not to be missed.

Conclude your journey at Wat Chaiwatthanaram, one of Ayutthaya’s most breathtaking Khmer-style temples. Situated along the Chao Phraya River, this well-preserved temple offers an optional boat ride for a unique perspective of its grandeur.

After a day of cultural immersion and historical discovery, relax as you are driven back to your hotel in Bangkok, carrying unforgettable memories of Ayutthaya’s ancient splendor.

Our guide, was very attentive and caring, always ensuring we enjoyed ourselves. He even recommended some activities to keep the kids entertained. The car was air conditioned, which was a plus. Google Translate came in handy as well. Starting around 8 AM instead of 10 is better to avoid crowds and traffic. Overall, it was a fantastic experience
